Works well holding around 8 psi . Would have been a five star if there were instructions on setting a pressure.

As with others had to tighten everything as it leaked and had to back off the adjustment all the way before it started to allow CO2 out then it was easy to adjust and worked perfectly after that.

First time using I adjusted using CO2 and set to 12 psi. Added wort to keg and let the ferment start. 24 hours later it was at 15 psi plus. Had to baby sit the pressure adjust as it went did not keep at the pressure I had set with CO2. End of day will need to monitor the pressure I feel not a set and forget. Fermentation seemed done in 3 days.

Works as designed. Easy to clean. Delivered quickly.

Love would buy again and would recommend to anyone.

Not nearly as simple of a solution as the Kegland spunding valve assembly. This is a cobbled bunch of brass fittings with a simple spring valve at the end. The weight of the assembly stresses the seal of the ball lock connection. I'll give it points for being solid and easy to move from place to place but I wouldn't replace my Kegland duotite setup for fermentation.

works good just a little tricky to get set at desired pressures.

required tightening at all joint which was really no trouble as I would check them as a rule anyway.

Item worked great. I got much more aroma dry hopping under pressure and beer was carbonated in keg much sooner.

I bought this in order to get into natural carbonation and pressure fermentation and I just about love the thing. Obviously it's easy to use (set a regular to target pressure and adjust the valve til it just barely vents) and it seems relatively sensitive which is great. The only caveat: mine came with a fitting that had no plumber's tape which I applied and the fittings were loose enough that I hemorrhaged CO2 until I soap-tested the thing and tightened it. Also I looked into making one myself and the price is very similar so it's worth mentioning that this thing is a solid deal. In summary: totally get this if you need it (you do or you don't) but be prepared to tighten it up - when in doubt check each connection with soapy water while under moderate pressure

This thing is great i have been spunding like crazy since i got it.

Works great after I tightened one side it was leaking.

It leaked in several places. I disassembled and re-wrapped with plumbers tape and reassembled. Since I was using this post fermentation to allow my cask conditioning yeast to reach a certain level of carbonation I changed the guage as well. All in all I’m very pleased and excited about another area of homebrewing that I am exploring

Took ~ 30 min to reach 3 psi after replacing blowoff hose with spulding valve 48 hrs into preimary fermentation.

I would say this is an important piece of equipment to have.
